Intervención educativa acerca de mecánica corporal, dirigida al personal de enfermería, Hospital José Carrasco Arteaga, 2011, aleatorizado con doble ciego

Abstract

Objective: To develop an educational program on body mechanics with the methodological support of the constructivist model, Infirmary Staff, José Carrasco Arteaga Hospital IESS/2011. Contribute to improving the use of body mechanics in hospital care, Infirmary Staff, José Carrasco Arteaga Hospital IESS/2011. Method and Technique: Experimental, randomized double-blind. Stratified by intervention group and in charge of infirmary staff, pre and post test application. January/2012 randomized control group. Instruments: two forms produced by the author: 1, validated knowledge questionnaire: Cronbach's alpha 83%, significance 0.000; attitude of body mechanics using validated: Cronbach's alpha 86%, significance 0.000. The 2nd evaluated: its practical application Cronbach's alpha reached 94% significance 0.000. Evaluation pre / post test = Wilcoxon both P> 0.05. Universe and Sample: 301 Infirmary staff Universe. Sample calculated with Epi Info=109+21=19% of people possible losses, educational treatment remained 5 blocks, 25 people from Monday to Thursday and 30 people Friday. Results In both groups baseline data show a P/Fisher>0.05. The results obtained after completion of the educational program was: 39.65% Expertise with P (Fisher) 0.000, 22.12% P Attitudes (Fisher) 0.039 and 55.86% Practice with P (Fisher) 0.000, were found to H1. It had showing a significant improvement in knowledge and practical application of body mechanics, as well as for controlling the attitude of discouragement for failure to apply the knowledge / practice is recommended to use the interactive education theory and practice.
